Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cocosilk" data-source="post: 2024255" data-attributes="member: 501623">The original recipe was one that my Croatian grandmother used to make and it was basically walnuts, eggs and sugar, and that's it:250 grams walnuts (you'll need a nut grinder that can make them nice and fluffy), but I often use ready-ground Hazelnut meal.6 eggs6 tablespoons sugar (but I reduced this to 4 teaspns and it's mildly sweet and yummy enough. You could certainly use an artificial sweetener instead.  I don't like the aftertaste.)Preheat oven to 160C (150C in fan forced)Separate eggs.  Beat egg whites and sugar till it forms soft peaks.Slowly stir through ground nuts.When I use hazelnut meal, I sometimes add a couple of tablespns of cocoa powder as well to give a choc/hazelnut cake (a few more carbs so watch that one but it's a nice combination.)Bake for around 40 - 50 mins (middle rack) (when I start to smell it, it's usually done but you can stick a knife in and when it comes out clean it's done.) .On the second day, serve it with cream if it starts to dry out.I consider this cake more of a meal.  More of a sweet nutty omlette.  I still think with half to one teaspn of sugar in a small slice of cake, and served with cream that it's going to cause less of a bg spike than a bowl of cereal would.</blockquote>
